• size of hard drive 2nd dv7-6b51ea

  Hello

  I have a dv7-6b51ea, the British model. Its original 1 TB drive started clicking... then finish. I replaced the main drive with a 250 GB SSD drive and reinstalled win7 64 bit. This works very well and is very quick to start and run.

  Having been in the back, I noticed a 2 slot of the drive Bay, I bought a 1 TB of seagate hybrid drive for this niche and have installed with cable.

  The first time I start windows, he saw the car and says that the new hardware is ready to use.

  Unfortunately windows cannot see the drive.

  I reinstalled all the current drivers on the support site HP and flashed the bios to the windows application.

  Can you shed any light on this please?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Wayne,

  You will need to just format the new HARD drive - try the following.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.  Right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

  Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.

  Kind regards

  Hello. I have problems of replacement of a failed hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7-6154nr notebook running Windows 7. New HARD drive seems to install OK, but I get a Windows Boot Manager error when I try to run the recovery disks created when the system was purchased. The message says "the boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible" "status: Oxc000000f.

• Question of firmware update hard drives/RAID

  We have a Server Power Edge R210II with OS MS Server 2008R2 and a Controller PERC H200 RAID (two disc HARD 1 TB Seagate SATA in RAID1).
  Recently, there is a new firmware for Seagate drives on a dell (Package update for MS Windows) support site.
  I really don't want to lose the server :) and never update firmware on the disks on the server with RAID (I've updated the players only on PC).
  Can someone tell me a procedure to update the firmware on my drives? Problems with the upgrade, best practices etc?
  Thanks for any help,
  Marius

  Best practices:

  • First have a backup. Should data not destructive, but everything can happen.
  • Use SUU or Repository Manager to update ALL of your system - iDRAC/BIOS firmware, PERC and other firmware must be updated before the firmware of the HARD drive.

  Most HARD drive firmware updates are bootable, so you just get the utility boot and update.

  You cannot update firmware of the drive not Dell with Dell firmware (i.e. If you bought the retail/generic readers).

• ExpressCache broken after update hard drive Protection

  I have a brand new E530 with 16 GB SSD. Product Code: 3259A 29.

  I installed the ExpressCache with the C:\SWTOOLS\APPS\ExpressCache installation program. Everything went well and the thing ran faster, for a day.

  Now I have updated the Protection of hard drive, such as recommended by the ThinkVantage System Update to Version 1.77.0.5.

  Since then, I get an error message during startup: "2102: error detection on HDD2 (SATA Mini).» Press ESC to continue. "After ESC the machine starts.

  But ExpressCache doesn't work anymore. On the command line the command eccmd.exe - info says "* ERROR * ECCmd required peripheral is not available: 2

  I guess, the update of the ruined the ExpressCache HD-protection - hide.

  How can I fix ExxpressCache? All eccmd.exe options, it returns the error message above.

  Thanks for your help!

  awehring,

  You see the error message:

  «2102: error detection on HDD2 (SATA Mini).» Press ESC to continue. »

  is from the BIOS.  You say that the mSATA SSD (or the port that it attached) is bad.

  I recommend you call the support phone number in your country to apply for warranty repair.

  The update of the software APS could not cause this, given that the APS software runs only under Windows.  You see the error message is BIOS.  I think it is purely a coincidence that HW failure is apparently happened as you updated the software of the APS.

• Update hard drive to SSD

  Hello

  I have a 2012 end mac mini, hearts, i7, 1 TB. Recently, I got a SMART error, and now it has deteriorated further. I have a time machine backup. I have another HARD drive with the operating system. So if the internal HARD drive failed completely, I'm sure.

  I want to upgrade to a 1 TB SSD. I have contacted apple and their prices are extremely high. I price $ 250 - $400 for the three following models: are they compatible?

  (1) transcend: Transcend 1 TB MLC SATA III 6 Gb/s 2.5 "Solid State Drive 370

  (2) SanDisk Extreme PRO 960 GB SATA 6.0 GB/s 7 mm height 2.5 - Inch Solid State (SSD) with 10 year warranty drive

  (3) critical BX200 960 GB SATA 2.5 inch internal Solid State Drive

  If they are compatible, please let me know on the reputation of those marks. Seagate is also quite good in my experience, I can look to their SSD equivalent also. Thanks a ton.

  All are compatible and should work correctly. I would opt for the SanDisk or Crucial. I failed to transcend everything simply because I know little about the company.

• Update hard drive to disk hybird / HP Envy 15.6 (DV6-7226NR)

  I just bought a refurbished HP ENVY 15.6 (DV6-7226NR), (what has not happened yet, so I don't know if I have the installation of Windows 8 media). I want to move the hard drive to a hybrid drive. Couple of questions, because I'm not the original owner, and the laptop was bought refurbished, am I allowed to reinstall Windows 8, in view of the change of material. If it is allowed, what procedure should I follow. I would be grateful some links to information I'm looking for.

  You'll have to ask the company refurbished if there is a partition on the laptop recovery.

  If there is, then you should be able to make a recovery usb flash drive to allow you to reinstall the operating system. If the recovery partition exists or not will be between you and the renovation company.

  My preferred method during the upgrade of the hard disks is to use a cloning software and a usb cable to SATA to clone the existing to the new hard drive.

• Update hard drive in the MacBook Pro (early 2015)

  What type of SSD will work in a MacBook Pro 13 inch screen of early 2015? I was told by someone that Apple no longer use the SATA drives and they now have their own exclusive hard drives and hard drive connectors. Can someone clarify this for me? I want to upgrade a 256 GB to 500 GB drive.

  New mac systems use style card SSD instead of 2.5 in block style (search for mSATA and M2 style SSD).  Apple uses a protocol of interface owner so you can not buy any card SSD on shelf.

  Another use main contributor a low profile SD card like this http://www.microcenter.com/product/441001/128GB_SDHC_Flash_Memory_Module that can stay connected to the SD slot card all the time and not poke out.  Also external fencing to swap nu-disks for a virtually unlimited storage.
